Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Tuesday late afternoon? Mom is doing alright. I was not feeling so hot last night or this morning so I was taking it easy but I am feeling better now. I was so tired last night but again for some reason I could not relax enough to get a good night sleep. I was dreaming non-stop all night & morning long. It was crazy. Today has been a relaxing day but Mom kept busy with doing some housework & also cleaning out the rest of my closet. I got rid of clothes that are too big for Mom now & shoes...yes shoes...lol...that I don't wear anymore. I have been giving all my clothes to Debbie's sister so this time around will be the 6th bag. Her sister is all set with wardrobes for all seasons now. I know that she doesn't have a lot of money so I do not mind it in the least. I know they are going to someone who needs them & will appreciate them. Mom was able to get some shirts that fit her when she went out this weekend. It feels great to be in a couple size smaller clothes. I will better & I am able to do more now. Mom isn't going to stop either. I will continue to work on eating healthy & smaller portions as well. Mark is proud of me & I know that you are as well. Mom didn't do anything else today as the closet took me about 2.5 hours to complete. It is now 4:17 pm & I needed to stop so I could write to you before getting things ready for the night routine with the pups & getting dinner going for Mark & Mom. Never any spare time lately. The days are getting shorter. Tonight is the last night that the sun will set after 8 pm. After that it will set 1-2 minutes earlier every night. Fall will be here in a few short weeks. That is our favorite season but not happy with what comes after that but this year I will try to be in better spirits with the snow. Mom can't wait for the cooler nights so that I can bake & cook again. You know how I love to do that! Mom always liked to bake you cookies or banana bread or whatever you wanted. I miss doing those things for you. I still do them for Mark but it is not the same. I miss so many things when it comes to you my sweet precious son. I know I don't have to say it as you see it in my eyes & you feel it in your soul. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You live forever inside my heart, mind, body & soul. 
 Not much again for updates for you as the phones have been quiet both days so far this week but hopefully tomorrow I can try to touch base with Aunt Beck again & Brandy as it has been a bit since we chatted. I will let you know as I know of things! I do have a daily prayer for you and a couple of the inspirational quotes for you so here they are: 
  May you--above all else--see yourself as someone Jesus loves. May His affection for you heal you in the deepest ways and inspire you like nothing else ever has. May His saving grace and enabling power compel you to dream with Him, believe in Him, and take crazy-faith-steps because of Him. May every lesser voice and every lying circumstance fall by the wayside so that all you hear is His voice in your ear saying, 'This is the way, walk in it.' Nobody's opinion matters as much as God's. Nobody can save, heal, redeem, and refresh like Jesus. Walk intimately with Him this day and every day. His will for you is your best-case-scenario.
 May God release special favor over your life today! May He fill you up to overflowing and give you a fresh vision for your life. May you identify the places where the enemy has planted inferiority and insecurity and play king of the hill there! Put him under your feet, refuse to let those lies win the day. In Christ you have NO reason to feel less than or inferior. He is more than enough for you. Walk in God’s truth and rest in His care. He loves you and He'll lead you in the way you should go. Have a blessed day today!
 Here are the quotes: " Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. "
 " Don't let what you can't do stop you from doing what you can do. "
 " The motivation always comes from within. "
 Mom knows that I will not be seeing anything shining in the sky again tonight as it has been cloudy & rainy all day long but I am hopeful that tomorrow will be different as it will be sunny & very warm. I know you are shining bright for someone who needs it & that makes Mom smile. I will whisper to you later this evening so hope you hear Mom's voice & you smile...that smile I miss so much! Mom will smile just for you too. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. I will be back tomorrow night with another letter to you. Time for Mom to get going so that I can feed the pups. Hope you night is everything you need it to be. Have fun while Mom is sleeping. Come visit if you can. Please watch over us all. Thank you, Tyler! Continue to fly high & free. I love you so much. You are my shining star! Until tomorrow.... good night & sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
